Mass Tort Lessons from the UPS Workplace Shooting Trial ft. Kevin Morrison Part I
Manage episode 429037851 series 3461956
This is a two-part conversation with Kevin Morrison.
In a time when many lawyers settle cases, Kevin Morrison and the Altair partners where he practices are known for trying them. Altair cases comprised two out of four of the finalists for Trial Lawyer of the Year trials this year. One of those was a case Kevin tried with fellow Altair partner Josh White to a stunning verdict in Santa Clara County, a place not known for handing out large verdicts.
Kevin is also known for leading the prosecution and trial for one of the higher profile cases in recent Bay Area memory, when an armed individual made it into a UPS facility in San Francisco. The individual used a MAC-10 to kill three and wound two before killing himself. We explore the challenges and logistics involved in working up and trying a complex multi-plaintiff case with 222 – yes that’s 222- depositions.
Outside the courtroom Kevin is a talented swimmer and cyclist. He’s leveraged his cycling skill, passion, and knowledge to advocate for fellow cyclists.
Please sit back and enjoy this conversation with Kevin!
